Thanks for posting your use-case.

EDIT: FYI, to do what esaltat is talking about, you have your Alexa routine run a command that uses the Voice Reply field. The routine runs it via one of the 2 legacy Alexa skills called TRIGGERcmd or TRIGGER command. Alexa routines use those skills via the custom action that effectively has Alexa say to herself, "Alexa, ask TRIGGER C M D to run calculator." Substitute the word "calculator" for your command's voice word of course.
